Heya ^^ Figured I'd just update you all about what's going on in my life!

Firstly I'm still in the process of uploading my stories up onto Tumblr, so if you have one, or know anyone who does who may appreciate fanservice-filled smut all about giant man-chests, I'd really aqppreciate it if you came on by, or mentioned it ^____^

Tumblr: http://bouldershotbuccaneers.tumblr.com/


Secondly, and the bigger reason for this journal, I've recently been trying to reach out to people, hopefully to make some friends and just generally have people to chat with (semi-)regularly, in an attempt to help with my depression and general feeling of lonliness. I'm not trying to garner sympathy, but rather just contacts who have similar interests who are free to chat with now and again. I've been reasonably-successful so far in this, but I'm always on the lookout for people so if you have Skype or Telegram, and ever want a chat, feel free to add me:

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I've started uploading my stories onto Tumblr, so if any of you are on there and fancy giving me a follow I'd really be appreciative ^____^

http://bouldershotbuccaneers.tumblr.com/

I'll be queueing up stories from oldest to newest, at roughly a couple submissions a day.

[Whispered] ... it's me by the way!

Hey everyone, it's been a very long time since I last really did any writing and I've decided to try and get back into it. I'll be starting off slow (well, slower than my usual snail's pace x.x), to ease me in, and so I don't just burn out quick and give up. Hopefully I'll be able to steadily finish some more lovely, steamy, pec-filled goodness ^^

I'd already barely-started something before my hiatus, so I'm doing that right now, it looks to be a fair bit longer than my usual stuff though, so give it some time ^^;

So yeah, pretty excited about this and I just hope I can manage it.


Life News

Life is... as crappy as ever to be honest, I've been struggling a lot lately with depression, to the extent that I've been entering some pretty dangerous moods, but I'm trying to change my outlook on things and how I react to stuff. I'm also gonna try and reach out to some people I've not chatted to for far too long, hopefully I can make some connections again to help with my CRIPPLING LONLINESS ARRRRRGH D:

But yeah, hope you're all doing good ^^ As always comments are welcomed, and if you'd like to chat with me, feel free to either send me a Note on here, or add me on Skype ^^ See ya!

Hey guys, I figured I'd go into some detail about how The Stacked Coffer is laid out. In my earlier stories I didn't really think about it, so it likely varies a good amount in those fics, but more recently I've been putting serious thoughts into what's where, and just how massive the ship must be to fit everything in there.

Now The Stacked Coffer has gone through a lot of renovations in it's time. Starting out as a simple merchant ship, it's been built upon and expanded to the point that it's become a truly immense vessel, perfect for it's utterly-colossal crew.

As I explain each room, I'll mention what it's like by default in the 'present'. Now the 'present' encapsulates the time most of my stories take place, so between Year 3 and Year 7, quite a big range, and while some expansions have been made through that time period, much more significant ones were made before and after, and so the ship remains 'pretty much' the same through that entire period. I'll mention any significant changes that are made after that time, so changes that have been made by the time Zixxle and Zohaar get together.

Ground Floor

The Deck - The entire 'ground' floor comprises pretty much of the deck. Essentially identical to any typical deck you'll have seen on pirate ships in any form of media. While mostly one large flat area, there is a raised area on one end where the wheel resides, and on the other end a small 'room' containing the stairway that leads down into the Hallway of 'B1'.

Basement 1 (B1)

Hallway - As you walk down the steps you enter a narrow hallway that leads straight on for a bit. After a while it hooks to the right. As you walk down it more there are large double-doors to your left, which lead into Baelek's Office. Carrying straight on it hooks to the right again after a bit. Walking down it further, you can see a door to your right that leads to the Guest Room. Carrying on past it leads to a set of stairs that lead down into the Kitchen of 'B2'.

Baelek's Office - Quite simply a huge office. In the middle of the room resides a solid, wooden desk and chair, which unsurprisingly is where Baelek works: planning excursions, holding interviews, etc. Shelves and cabinets fill much of the rest of the room, all filled with gems, jewellery and piles of gold coins. Clearly the captain likes to spend time with his spoils.

Guest Room – The Guest Room is pretty much a large bedroom, containing a huge king-sized bed, bedside tables, a desk and a chair. It's used almost exclusively as a place for Zohaar to stay while he's onboard, and for the first few years of the vindicator's visits, this is where he was 'detained' whenever -not- in a meeting with Baelek in his office. During this time he'd be 'guarded' by one or two of the other crewmen, usually Rin'ji and/or Takrin. On the rare occasion that the Bouldershots actually kidnap someone, this is where they'd go. Never let it be said the Bouldershots don't treat their hostages well.

Basement 2 (B2)

Kitchen – The stairs lead right into the kitchen area. Fairly spacious, this is where Rin'ji, one of the better cooks aboard the ship, prepares the crew's meals. Equipped with a stove, a sink and plenty of counter space, it's the perfect place to make a feast out at sea. There's a Pantry under the stairs, and a large 'Coldroom' at one end of the ship. If you walk through the Kitchen you'll find a large open doorway leading into the Dining Room/Meeting Room.

Dining Room/Meeting Room – One of the largest rooms on the ship, it consists of a huge open area filled with long wooden tables straddled by matching wooden benches. Quite simply it's where the men eat and/or hold meetings, with it being by far the most convenient place to house all the men at once. At one end of the room there's a ladder that leads down to the Cargo Hold of 'B4'. There's also another set of stairs that leads down to the Hallway of 'B3'.

Basement 3 (B3)

Hallway – At the bottom of the stairs you'd find yourself in a long, narrow hallway with many doors on either side. These leads into the crew-members Cabins. At the end of the corridor you'll find the door to Baelek's Cabin. Behind you, near the stairs, is the door leading into the Bathroom.

Cabins – Each of the crewmen, besides Zixxle, has their own cabin. Most cabins are the same size, and contain a huge king-sized bed and most contain milking machines. Some contain desks and chairs, and one or two contain large hammocks. Takrin's cabin is twice the size of his fellow crewmen's, due to having to also be home to his pair of huge lions. Rurik's cabin also has a ladder that leads down into the Cargo Hold of 'B4'.

Eventually another cabin is built, and Zixxle is able to have his own room.

Baelek's Cabin – Much larger than his men's cabins, the captain has an exceptionally large bed here. He also has random bundles of gold and similarly-valuable treasures dotted about, but there's not quite as much here as in his office. He decorates it with portraits of himself looking particularly-dashing, and one or two of his whole crew. He also has a couple of silk drapes hung about.

Bathroom – A large room equipped with a couple of large wooden bathtubs and a large private shower. Naturally it has a network of drains beneath it.

Eventually it's expanded upon quite a bit, fitted with a huge jacuzzi where most of the group-funtimes take place. A wall of showers is also put in, hidden from the rest of the room by a wall. More extensive drainage is put in as well, along with support beams for the jacuzzi.

Basement 4

Cargo Hold – A couple of ladders lead down into the Cargo Hold, which takes up roughly two-thirds of this level. It's a rather cluttered room. Along one wall are many crates and barrels, filled with food, water, alcohol, and other supplies. There's also another large Coldroom where milk from a few of the men is stored. Along the other wall are various machines that have been fitted by the Greased Rockets, a band of goblin engineers from Ratchet. These machines are maintained and tweaked by Rurik. One of these machines is a huge vat connected to each of the milking machines in the crewmen's cabins, and is where milk is gathered, before either drank, stored, or disposed of. There's a door into the Treasure Room, naturally it's covered in locks.

Treasure Room – The remainder of this floor is the Treasure Room. As it's name implies, the bulk of the men's spoils are kept here. Massive piles of gold coins fill this room, with the odd smattering of silver and platinum. Jewels, tiaras, bracelets and the like are also haphazardly dotted about. Various intricately-decorated weapons, robes, helmets and suits of armour can also be found here. There's a safe in the corner containing the most valuable of the Bouldershot's treasures, including the Medallion of Eterna.

Oof, two months since a journal entry, let's fix that!

So, you'd likely have noticed I've been on another hiatus lately, caused in part to the holidays, along with a weaker drive to write, but you'll be happy to know I'm back in the writing game!

I've got a couple of things ready to upload actually, but they're both a bit different, and so I'd prefer to wait until I have something a bit more similar to my usual work to upload alongside them. I know it seems odd but I prefer my 'Latest Submission' to always be something more typical of what I usually write, well, that or a hot pic.

I'm a bit undecided on what exactly I'll write alongside them though, I had an idea I'm actually quite interested in doing, but it's a Halloween story and, well, it's not Halloween. On the other hand Halloween is like 9 months away so I'll probably just write it and upload it now, because I actually have drive to write it now. However it -would- be more fun to actually do a Halloween story at Halloween, hrmm...

Speaking of holiday stories, Valentine's Day is coming up somewhat soon, and I have a plan of a story for then, so I should at least have one seasonal story that's actually in the season ^^;

Anyhoo, life-wise everything is going alright, bit of depression after the holidays were over but I'm managing ^^ Finances and stuff is all sorted so that's the main thing, and I did have an amazing Christmas and New Years so that's awesome!

As always feel free to send me a PM or add me on Skype if you'd like a chat, and I'll see you all soonish! o/

I'll basically be listing alignments and listing which of my characters are of each. The alignments may not be perfectly-accurate, but are the closest alignment for the particular character. These alignments aren't necessary 'final' and are subject to change.

Also note that personality types still vary widely in each particular alignment. Alignments are no signifier of personality, only of that character's morality and ethics. A Lawful Good character may well be a stereotypical 'righteous knight', but could just as easily be a gruff and easily-irritable brute.

'True Neutral' is used instead of the term 'Neutral Neutral'.

Been ages since I've done one of these journals, but recently I've been toying with the idea of assigning alignments to my characters. Now, it can be pretty tricky giving certain characters one alignment, since some of them toe the line between two, but I'm pretty happy with what I ended up choosing for them. For those of you not too familiar with alignments though, mainly the Dungeons and Dragons alignment system, allow me to give a watered-down explanation of it:

Basically an alignment comes in two parts. The first part is what signifies a character's 'ethics', and for that part you have:

Lawful: Basically the character obeys the law, much preferring order over chaos. These characters 'can' break the law, but will suffer an inner conflict about doing so.

Neutral: While this person has normal respect for laws, they feel no compulsion to follow them, though they feel no compulsion to break them either. They'll flaunt the rules if need be and feel perfectly-fine doing so, but will usually follow them to avoid trouble.

Chaotic: This character feels no obligation to follow rules, and will freely break the law to suit their ends. They usually value freedom very highly, and often actively dislike the idea of authority imposing rules on others.


The other part of alignment, signifies a character's 'morality', and for that part you have:

Good: Simply-put, these characters are... well... good! A Good character will make personal sacrifices to help others.

Neutral: A Neutral character, while being against needlessly-cruel actions like killing innocents, will at the same time lack the commitment to make personal sacrifices to help others. They will only be committed to others through personal relationships. Neutral characters may also prefer to maintain a balance between Good and Evil.

Evil: Evil characters are exactly what they say on the tin, inflicting harm and hardships upon others if it's convenient to do so. Evil characters have no compassion for others, and will kill innocents without feeling guilt.


This is a pretty simplified explanation of it, but combined, it gives a pretty wide range of possible alignments, and even gives a variety of different alignments within the same traditional alignment.
For example, a Lawful Good character will strive to aid others, and will always obey the law if they possibly can. A traditional righteous paladin will fit here.
However, a Chaotic Good character will strive to do good, but will often go about it by way of criminal activity. A 'Robin Hood-like' character will go here.
Both Good, but both of different alignments.

In my next journal, I will be giving information on what alignments my various men are, or at least what alignment is closest to representing them.

With my upcoming story taking place a few years later than most of my other fics, I figured it was a good time to try and establish an official timeline for my Pirates! series.
While I'm not giving specific times of when exactly these events happen in that particular year, it -is- in chronological order.
Generally the events posted higher in the year with have occurred early in the year, and those posted near the bottom will have occurred late in the year. A lot of this is being decided on the spot, so bare with me ^^;


Year 1

Baelek Mooncrest travels Azeroth bringing together massively-muscular men of many races to form the Bouldershot Buccaneers.

With Tharyn Ravenfeather's architectural knowledge, the crew build upon Blake Lightswood's merchant ship to make The Stacked Coffer, and set off to begin their adventurers.

Year 2

The Bouldershots recruit Rurik.

The crew use much of their treasure to fund further extensions to The Stacked Coffer.

Year 3

Zohaar investigates The Stacked Coffer as it's docked in Northern Westfall, and the ship sets sail with him still aboard.

During the next month, they plunder the Sacred Tower of Eterna, every member of the crew, as well as Zohaar being cursed with simply-gargantuan breasts.

Shortly after this, they return to Westfall and Zohaar leaves the ship. This isn't the last they see of the knight however, as he returns semi-regularly from then on to visit, guiding them to become better people.

Using more of their wealth, they build up The Stacked Coffer again.

Whilst back in Stormwind, Zohaar is sent by his superior, Jarek, the patrol Old town, the capital's more shady district. (Business as Usual)

The Bouldershots investigate some island ruins in search of riches. There they encounter a mysterious man named Sergey, and Tharyn is sent to tail him. (The Island Ruins)

Year 4

The Bouldershots hire the Greased Rockets, a band of goblin tinkers, to install milking machines in a few of the men's cabins. One of the goblins, Ruzzle, ends up coming back after dark to ensure his creation is in full working order. (Ruzzle's Experiment)

Taerik Silverwing, the dashing sin'dorei of the crew, has a steamy run-in with the crew's beastmaster, Takrin Bloodaxe. (Belowdecks)

During one of his visits, Zohaar has an unexpected encounter with two of the crewmen. (The Vindicator's Visit)

During a visit to Ironbrew's, one of Ratchet's most popular taverns, Takrin has some fun with a couple of the patrons, and even one of the workers. (An Evening at Ironbrew's)

Unbeknownst to the men, their rivals, The Duskrunner Bandits have used their wicked magics to shrink one of their own crewmen, Nathaniel Craven, and sent him to sneak aboard The Stacked Coffer, as a spy. (Nathaniel's Mission)

Year 5

The ship docks at Booty Bay during one of First Mate Lightswood's routine visits to stock up. This time however, he has a rather interesting encounter with the shopkeeper, Colin. (Stocking Up)

The Bouldershots dock at Ratchet to hold interviews for a new swabee. Baelek ends up hiring Zixxle Zapscrew, and he joins the crew. (Welcome Aboard!)

Year 6

The Bouldershots visit the vast desert land of Uldum, in search of riches. During their time there they encounter the sand-mistress Phaera. (Mysteries of Uldum)


Year 7

During summer, the Bouldershots visit the resort town of Gadgetzan for a much-deserved vacation. (Gadgetzan mini-series)

Year 8

The Bloody Blades, an inept band of mercenaries travel to Uldum in search of a mark they've been sent to hunt. They too encounter the mysterious sand-mistress. (A Night in the Sands)

Year 9

Year 10

During one of Zohaar's visits, he gets to know Zixxle rather well, who's now the crew's healer. A bond forms between the two, and they begin a relationship. (The Last Place You Look)





I've not given a reference for how this occurs in comparison to the official World of Warcraft timeline, partly because it's tricky, and partly because I -did- try and sort it out and it -did- work well until I realized Taerik was a Death Knight and thus it kinda fell apart ^^; If you -really- want to have a reference though, I'd imagine the crew was formed early in the Wrath of the Lich King era, they obtained their 'assets' half-way through that era, and Zixxle joined the crew early-mid Cataclysm era. I'm aware that that doesn't line up given the number of years in my timeline, so in this universe the WotLK era stretched for a deal longer than in the official WoW timeline.
None of this is official however, it's just for those who would enjoy having some kind of reference to the WoW timeline. None of my stories are in anyway related to any of the stories in any of WoW's expansions anyway, so it's not like it has much baring, and is subject to change if I ever do decide to write a Pirates! story that involves official story of any expansions.

Hey there, I've recently been speaking with someone who seemed rather confused about my various stories, and what worlds or AUs they're set in, so I thought I'd make this Journal entry to clarify some things, and hopefully make things a lot clearer for people ^^

Azeroth - Essentially the exact setting of World of Warcraft, with some minor lore tweaks. Azeroth is a planet that consists of four continents, Kalimdor, The Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend and Pandaria. It's also connected to the broken planet of Draenor, now called Outland. The only Bustymen who exist in this world, are The Bouldershot Buccaneers. Races that exist in this world include: Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Night Elves, Draenei, Worgen, Pandaren, Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, Forsaken (Undead), Blood Elves, Goblins, Ogres, Satyr, Mogu and others.

Stories that take place in this world include:

My Pirates! Series (Including the Gadgetzan mini-series, Nathaniel's Mission etc)
A Night's Plunder (Possibly)


Azeroth AU - An Alternate Universe Azeroth, nearly-identical but bustymen aren't quite as unique here, though they still are incredibly rare. I can generally take a lot more liberties as far as lore goes, and can stretch the limit of what magic can do here even more than in 'normal Azeroth'. All the same races that exist in the 'normal Azeroth' exist here.

Stories that take place in this world include:

First Impressions
A Bountiful Recovery
At the Hot Springs
Rendir and Garret
Down in Dustwallow
World of Warcraft Bustyman Tactics Guide: Raid Bosses
Man-Time in the Barracks
A Night's Plunder (Possibly)
Xavian
The Summer Holidays Series, excluding the AU version


Kronthyr - Kronthyr is my original fantasy world, and is completely separate from Azeroth, being a completely different world altogether. It consists mainly of the continent, also named Kronthyr, an island south of it, called Saleanssar. The only bustyman in all of Kronthyr, is Blake Lightswood. While certain characters in this world may have similar or even identical names as those in other worlds, they're technically completely different characters. Races that exist in this world include: Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Elves, Half-Elves, Demons, Goblins, Centaur and Seraphim.

Stories that take place in this world include:

Remnants of the Past
The Newest Recruit
The Secret of Ginshal
A Trip to Iz'noth
Meet the Party!
The Godhound
Lance Gets Lucky


Tyria - The world that the games Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 take place in. Races in this world include: Humans, Norn, Asura, Charr, Sylvari among others.

Stories that take place in this world include:

Norn Engineering


Castle Age - A Facebook game with a few characters I found attractive. I wrote a couple of stories featuring their characters, and by default these stories take place in the game's universe.

Stories that take place in this world include:

A Visit to the Training Grounds
Beyond the Training Grounds


Non-Canon Stories - The following stories are not canon in any of the above series. These are likely trades, commissions and roleplays that were one-off stories. These stories basically take place in their own alternate universes.

These stories include:

Roleplay! - Zohaar and Danny
Roleplay! - Silverwing
A Run-In with Rin'ji
Takra'jin
Summer Holidays AU

Bruno and Bradley (This takes place in the Sims 2 world)
Roleplay! - Tidus and Wakka (Takes Place in Spira)

A Day on the Slopes
The Barbarian and the Wizard (These two are owned by bobert and so likely take place in his characters' universe)



So there we have it ^^ These are the different universes and alternate universes that my various stories are set in. Apologies for any confusion caused by me never having actually bothered to explain it all before, sorry ^^;

A Night's Plunder could technically fit into either Azeroth or Azeroth AU.

I know I've already got some of you on various things, but if anyone wants to chat with me about my characters, stories, series, settings, kinks, or even just more casual stuff like video games and all that jazz, feel free to add me on Skype of F-List and I'll be more-than-happy to talk ^^

Hey guys! I've been mulling a good deal recently, and I think I've quite possibly found the answers I've been searching for!

I believe the main reason for my lack of motivation to write, does indeed stem from boredom after having written so much over the past few years. More specifically though, I believe it stems for losing the drive to write for myself.

When I began writing, it was completely just for me, mainly fap material actually. Eventually my bits of sex scenes slowly grew into proper short stories, and I decided to start writing more, and submitting my stories online, for others to enjoy. Even by this point, I was still mainly writing for me, plenty of awesome ideas I desperately wanted to see in story-form, but I'll admit, I still craved faves, watches and comments, because who doesn't love all those?

Over time though, I've grown more accustomed to my writing style, and I've also simply written most of the stuff I was super-interested in writing, and so I sort of stopped writing for myself, and what I was left with, was writing for other people. However, I just don't really get that much interest from other people, I get very few comments, especially to journals, and so with barely any communication with anyone about my work, it really knocks your want to really do any work. Why invest hours into making something for people, and then after they'd looked at it, they then just silently walk away.

This isn't a journal to be having a go at people, not in the slightest, (well maybe a bit), because it's what people are like, I myself almost -never- post comments about works I enjoy, because most people just don't feel the need to do that. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad, and I'm not saying anyone is a bad person because of this, I'm just saying the fact that this is what happens, is pretty naff, and it's a big reason why I just don't have much reason to actually write anymore.

Because of this, my hiatus, which I think is already indefinite, is... well, even more indefinite. I don't want to put any time limit on it, and it's likely I may just never go back to regularly, or even semi-regularly posting stories on this site or any other. It's possible that I may very rarely submit something, but it would only be rarely, and that's if ever at all. I don't want to string anyone along here, and I want everyone to know that there -is- a -big- possibility of seeing no more work from me at all.

As always, I'm perfectly happy to chat about my characters/stories/series/kinks, or anything in between, either though PMs, FList, or via Skype ^^

I'll probably still be posting journals every few months, just to keep people updated about my life, should anyone really be interested, but I wanted to get this out so everyone was informed ^^

Hope you're all doing well, see ya for now!

Yeesh, can't believe it's been 2 months since my last proper journal update on here, and a full 4 months since I officially started my hiatus.

I'll start by talking about my hiatus actually. When I started it, it was because I was finding it difficult to find much drive and motivation to write, I was beginning to feel like many of my stories were too similar, I was struggling to find story ideas that -really- excited me, but most importantly, I was just a bit bored of writing. I figured taking a few weeks/months off would 'recharge my batteries' as it were, and I'd once again be in the mood to write, at least as much as I used to be.

Well, I did get a couple of brief instances of inspiration, and I channeled those into the few stories I've submitted since I started my hiatus, but on the whole I'm still pretty much lacking in drive. I do have ideas, I've actually got more Gadgetzan chapters planned out, and some possible scenarios for Nathaniel's Mission, and although I do think they're good, interesting ideas, I still don't really have much drive to sit down and write them.

Part of the reason for my lack of drive is likely practical reasons, I find it most comfortable to write, and easier to concentrate when I'm alone, which isn't really feasible in my current state in life. Though even if I could have large chunks of time by myself to write, I still don't know if I would, perhaps I've just written so much that I've gotten a bit bored of it, though I'm hoping it's just a severe case of burnout, and after perhaps a few more months I'll suddenly be hit with inspiration again.

I did think perhaps a reason was the fact that I RPed regularly, and perhaps that sapped my creative juices, though I've been a fair bit less active in RPing of late, and I feel pretty much the same.

So yeah, I really don't know what the future holds as far as my writing is concerned, I'd love to be able to continue it and get what I have planned done and submitted, but I really can't make any promises of when that will be, if ever.

I do really appreciate everyone who's taken an interest in my stories, truly, and as always I'm happy to chat about my stories and characters and most anything really, just drop me a PM on here ^^


Elsewhere in life, I've recently gotten into Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and it's pretty darn good. There's clearly been a lot of work put into it, and it has so many little touches and cool little things that really make it stand out, things other MMOs would never put the work into. I do have my gripes with it, namely the slowness of levelling certain classes, and the sheer amount of filler in the Main Story Quest, but it's a solid MMO, definitely. Plus it runs alrightish on my old computer, and it -still- looks stunning.

So yeah, that's about it. Oh, I do have one or two more Character Biographies I'll need to get myself to do at some point. After that though, are there any other 'Information Journals' you'd like to see me do on any of my various characters/series etc?

Back after far too long, this time with a biography for the dark-skinned hulking warrior, Garv ^^ I've slightly ret-conned his backstory, so he's now a full-blooded Dhararian, rather than mixed-race.

Name: Garv Stonewell

Age: 53

Race: Human (Dhararian)

Class: Warrior

Skin Colour: Dark Brown

Hair: Silver (Long, worn loose)

Personality: Stoic, Level-Headed, Can be distracted at times

History: Garv Stonewell (not his birth name) was born in the lands of Dharar, a hot and humid kingdom located to the west of Faerdeil.

In his youth, he worked as a blacksmith's apprentice and occasional mercenary, though his true passion lay in politics, or rather, taking up a stand against what he viewed as the oppressive Dhararian government. Not agreeing with their often-ruthless methods, Garv would lead protests, and incite the people to stand up against their leaders. Naturally the Emperor took notice of him, and would send his guards to lock the warrior up in the castle's jails. Due to the fact that his work as a mercenary often helped the kingdom as a whole though, he was often let out only after a short time, though it would never be long before his anarchistic actions landed him back in the jail again.

As he grew older, and with few real changes being made, the fire that fueled his passion for change weakened, and he eventually decided to leave his homeland, traveling to Faerdeil and taking up residence in the town of Harath, working in the town's mines.

After a few years of this though, it became clear that the steady but uneventful life of a miner was something he simply couldn't tolerate, and his fuel for change grew strong once again. He left the mining town and set off for the kingdom's capital, Sunsliver, intent on gathering a party of like-minded men to form an adventuring group. After some convincing, he gathered a small band, and ever since has been traveling the length and breadth of Faerdeil and beyond, helping others and vanquishing evil.

Name: James Axeton

Age: 19

Race: Human

Class: Cleric

Skin Colour: Caucasian

Hair: Brown

Personality: Shy, Timid, Submissive, Kind-Hearted, Good

History: James grew up in a very pious family, both his parents working in Sunsliver Cathedral. His father worked as a Paladin, a more combat-oriented Cleric, who would be sent out around Faerdeil to route out evil-doers. His mother worked as a Priestess, a more magic-oriented cleric, and would travel Sunsliver using her curative spells to help others.

While James was still young, his father was recruited into the Silver Sharde, the order responsible for guarding and preserving the sacred land of Anthisia. This meant he was away from home for long stretches of time, and despite the fact that when he -was- home, he was as kind and loving as any child could hope for, it did create a lot of emotional distance between the two.

When he became 16, he started training in the Cathedral to become a Cleric, and it was immediately clear that he took after his mother, very adept in casting spells, but without much skill in melee combat. He quickly became a capable healer, and would often be sent out to smaller settlements out in the countryside to act as a medic.

One day he encountered Garv Stonewell, a warrior who was searching for like-minded people to join his adventuring party. At first he was rather reserved about the idea of joining, but after talking it over with his mother, he decided it was the best way he could help people, and gain experience as a Cleric, and so when he next came across Garv, he happily joined the party.

So I see it's been about 2 months since my last journal that wasn't a character biography, and I thought I'd just give an update about how I'm doing ^^

As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I'm currently on a writing hiatus, basically just a big break from writing to try and get my drive back, which was waning quite a bit.

Since then, I've managed to get back some drive briefly, which is likely when I wrote the couple of submissions I've done since then, but overall my motivation to write has still been a lot lower than I'd like. I'm not sure why this is, it could just be burnout, it could be a lull in interest for what stories I have planned, it could be the number of stressful/anxiety-inducing things that have cropped up over the last few months, it could be the inability to find a quiet, private place in my home to write, or it could simply be that I've just fallen out of love with writing. I don't want to think it's the last one, and I doubt it is, given that when I -have- gotten some drive to write lately, I've still enjoyed it thoroughly, but I'm still kind of at a dead-end with getting my drive back.

I'm currently writing a request for my partner. It's been surprisingly-difficult to write, well, not really the writing as such, well, no more difficult than usual, but getting myself to -do- the writing is the challenge. I think I started it a couple of weeks ago, and since then I've probably done about... 70% of the story, and I'm just finding it impossible to bring myself to finish it. Not because I don't like it, I do, it's got characters, kinks and a story that's exciting, but I just have no spark that draws me to finish it. I know I will finish it, probably in the next couple of weeks, but after that, I really don't know what to do. I have a lot of planned/semi-planned stories that I'd love to do, but I can barely even see myself finishing the one I'm on, let alone starting more after.

If anyone has any advice/help/pointers of what might be able to fix things, or even just some reassuring works, that'd be greatly appreciated ^^

Name: Baelek Mooncrest

Age: 1307 (Looks 36~)

Race: Night Elf

Class: Rogue (Combat)

Skin Colour: Dark Blue

Hair: Dark Blue (Long, worn loose down his back, with two large bangs across his face)

Eye Colour: Amber

Personality: Perverted, Charismatic, Suave

History: Baelek was always one to bend the rules to have some fun. Never anything too criminal, but enough to give him a reputation as one you probably shouldn't trust to mind your home for you. It was his light-fingered nature, along with his love of adventure, that made him interested in the life of a pirate. Over the years he'd approached numerous crews in an attempt to secure a place on their ship, but every time he received a similar reaction. He claimed to be a skilled rogue, and he was in all respects, but his simply-goliath physique always led crews to believe he couldn't possibly be subtle and stealthy, not to mention how much it would cost to accommodate for him and feed him and the like. He was turned away by every crew, and while his charm could have possibly won them over if he'd tried, he didn't feel anyone so quick to dismiss him was worth his time.

He then got his own idea, to found a new pirate crew, one filled with massively-muscular men, to prove to the world that a bulky frame could still ensure results in this line of work. It was an...unusual goal to say the least, but he was intent on it. He travelled Azeroth and managed to convince herculean men of many races to join together under the name of The Bouldershot Buccaneers. He managed to get ahold of a large, if slightly-dilapidated vessel, and after dismantling Blake Lightswood's merchant ship for parts, managed to fix it up with the aid of Tharyn Ravenfeather, into an intimidating ship. He eventually met Rurik the draenei, who joined his crew, and also encountered the vindicator Zohaar. Many years after this, he hired a goblin named Zixxle Zapscrew to be the crew's new swabee.

Name: Khyed

Age: 35

Race: Tauren

Class: Druid (Balance)

Pelt: Brown

Eye Colour: Light Green

Personality: Kind-Hearted, Diplomatic, Warm,

History: Upon reaching adulthood, Khyed joined the Cenarion Circle, a neutral faction comprised of druids. He'd always known he wanted to become druid, helped along by his innate love of nature. He focused on weaving nature magics to heal wounds and fight corruption, but he never showed too much promise in this discipline. Within a few years of joining the Circle though, the other druids helped him discover that he showed great promise in the use of druidic magic offensively, and while he wasn't initially too keen on the idea, he soon realised he would be able to help people much more by using his powers to fight back demons, than to heal minor wounds.

During his time stationed in the corrupted vale of Felwood, the tauren was approached by Baelek Mooncrest. The night elf tried to convince the strapping bull to join his crew, but Khyed politely declined. However, not to take a 'no' easily, Baelek returned every day for the next few weeks, until at last he had managed to convince the tauren to a month-long trial as the ship's advisor. Initially annoyed by the rowdy crew, he eventually grew rather fond of them, and when his month was over, he decided that without him there, the rest of the buccaneers would likely devolve into chaos, and became a fully-fledged part of the crew.

Khyed responded slightly differently to the curse that afflicted the crew when they disturbed the Medallion of Eterna. The powerful nature magics that flowed through his body seemed to magnify the effects of the fertility deity's curse. This resulted in not only him having some of the largest breasts in the crew and a greatly increased milk production, but also replacing his oversized manparts of a large, tight and immensely-fertile man-pussy.

Name: Takrin Bloodaxe

Age: 36

Race: Orc

Class: Hunter (Beastmaster)

Hair: Very Dark Blue (Wears up in a pseudo-topknot)

Skin Colour: Green

Personality: Gruff, Dominant, Kind-Hearted

History: Takrin has almost always been an adventurer, traveling Kalimdor to explore, and to find work as a mercenary. He'd also almost always been a hunter, a beastmaster more specifically, taming native beasts in a region to aid him in battle, and saying goodbye to them when he then left the area. While he preferred not to have permanent animal companions with him, he always had a loyal partner in most any region he traveled to.

This however changed slightly one day in The Barrens. He encountered a lioness fighting with a thunder lizard, though it became quickly clear that the much larger reptile had the advantage. Sure enough only a few moments later, the lioness was dead, and the oversized lizard carried her away. Takrin thought nothing of this, he knew full-well how the cycle of life in nature worked, but it was when he saw two small lion cubs emerge from behind a nearby bush, that even his gruff demeanor faltered. He was not a 'softy' by any stretch of the imagination, but knowing that if he did nothing, these young cubs would almost certainly die, he decided to approach them. After quite some time, he managed to befriend them, enough to have them follow him at least, and over the next year or so, the orc raised them into formidable beasts, developing a strong bond with them.

It was a few years after -this-, that Takrin was approached by a strapping night elf, asking him to join his pirate crew. At first he was skeptical, but seeing the roster of other men the elf had managed to convince to join as well, the orc decided to come aboard too, but insisted that his lions join him as full-time members. Clearly rather shocked by this, the captain reluctantly agreed, making sure there were the facilities for the two large beasts to live aboard happily as well.

Naturally lions have quite a bit of energy, not to mention would need to exercise regularly to keep in shape, and so Takrin playfully wrestles with them daily. This not only keeps himself and the beasts fit, it also trains them for battle, as well as solidifies their bond.

Name: Tharyn Ravenfeather

Age: 3286 (Looks to be 39~)

Race: Night Elf

Class: Warrior (Protection/Arms)

Hair: Mossy Green (Usually wears it down in an unkempt 'mane', but sometimes wears it up in a ponytail)

Skin Colour: Very dark purple, almost obsidian

Personality: Lazy, Eye for Detail, Somewhat Indifferent, Reasonably Kind

History: For much of his long life, Tharyn fought alongside his kin as a soldier. Thanks to his immense size, he was a formidable warrior, using his titanic greatsword to decimate his foes. He was actually rather renowned for his unrivaled skill on the battlefield.

After millennia of this though, he got rather bored, and decided he wanted to use his mighty strength in other pursuits. He returned to the night elven capital of Darnassus, and worked as a builder and general physical labourer. During this time, he bulked up even more, and learnt to become a rather skilled architect.

In his spare time he either slept or worked out, though mostly slept, after so many years of fighting, he learnt to truly appreciate a good nap, perhaps a little too much.

It was during one of these comforting naps that he was awoken by one of his fellow kinsman, a man named Baelek. He said he had recently decided to make a pirate crew filled with hunky men of various races, and what better way to start then with perhaps the largest of the night elves, Tharyn Ravenfeather. Tharyn wasn't too sure of becoming a pirate, even after Baelek's attempts at convincing. However, if agreeing to it meant getting back to a blissful sleep, he'd do it, and it was only a few hours later, when he awoke once more, that he fully realized what he'd signed on for.

After finding out that they were more treasure hunters than pirates though, Tharyn was much more comfortable with the idea, and leant his legendary strength to the crew's 'cause'. He also used his knowledge of architecture to help remodel The Stacked Coffer on a few occasions.

Name: Rurik

Age: 7995 (Looks to be 39~)

Race: Draenei

Class: Warrior (Fury, though he rarely fights, the few times he does he usually uses his various gadgets)

Hair: Dark Brown (Spiked back)

Skin Colour: Blue

Personality: Kind, Hopeful, Has a dominant streak, Strives for the appreciation from others

History: Rurik spent much of his long life as a warrior, but after the draenei crash-landed on Azeroth, he was intent on becoming an engineer, to assist in fixing up the Exodar. Unfortunately he didn't really seem to grasp the profession all too well, and thus never really gained the respect of his kin in that area.

He was usually sent off to the smaller settlements of Azuremyst Isle, to help in the maintenance of gadgets there, and it was while he was out on one of these jobs, at a small port town, that The Stacked Coffer docked there and he met it's crew. He was won over by it's charismatic captain rather quickly, and with the night elf seeking an engineer for his crew, Rurik eagerly volunteered himself for the position. He figured that travelling the world would be a great opportunity to hone his craft, and the draenei has been making steady progress under the occasional tutelage of the goblins whenever he's had the chance.

Name: Zixxle Zapscrew

Age: 26

Race: Goblin (Bilgewater Cartel)

Class: Shaman (Restoration)

Hair: Blonde (Well-groomed, in a short ponytail)

Eye Colour: Pinky-red

Skin Colour: Dark Green

Personality: Shy, Easily-Flustered, Has a slight cheeky streak

History: Like the rest of the Bilgewater Cartel, Zixxle grew up on the island of Kezan. After maturing into adulthood, he found work as a model. He was rather famous, his boyish good looks landing him on the cover of the leading fashion magazines. Eventually he moved onto slightly steamier articles, appearing in saucy calenders and pin-up posters. However, after his agent began pressuring him to appear in pornography, Zixxle decided to leave the business and return to a gentler life.

During the Cataclysm, the island was wracked with natural disasters, and much of the population escaped on a ship bound for Azshara. However, after being attacked by the Alliance, the survivors found themselves on The Lost Isles. After establishing a settlement, warding off local dangers and rescuing Thrall himself, the huge volcano on the largest Isle erupted, and the goblins and world-shaman escaped by ship to Kalimdor.

After joining the Horde, Zixxle decided to try and harness the power of the elements, after seeing first hand just how powerful they could be back on Kezan and The Lost Isles. He quickly found he had a strong affinity for water magics, and started working as a travelling medic. However, it seemed most people didn't trust a goblin of all things to be a decent healer, and so he was eventually forced into doing odd jobs in the Steamwheedle port of Ratchet, to get by.

One day he heard that a rather well-known band of pirates were looking to hire a new member, and he was intent on securing himself the spot. Despite turning up late, his dashing good looks swayed the captain into hiring him, and he's been happily working as the crew's swabee ever since.

I know it's been a while, but here's my next character biography, this time for Zohaar!

Name: Zohaar

Age: 5420 (Physically he looks around 28~)

Race: Draenei

Class: Paladin (Protection/Retribution, uses the title Vindicator)

Hair: Blonde (Fairly long, in a foxtail)

Skin Colour: Very pale blue, almost white.

Personality: Shy, Timid, Submissive, Good, Righteous

History: Like all draenei, much of Zohaar's life consisted of traveling between various planets, fleeing from the Burning Legion. At a young age he trained to become a warrior, to do battle against their demonic adversaries. After meeting the Naaru, he trained to became a paladin instead, a righteous holy fighter. Taking on the title of Vindicator, he swore to protect his kin from the demonic menace that chased them across the stars.

After landing on Azeroth, Zohaar joined with the Alliance, like most of his people. He traveled to Stormwind, and there, he joined the paladin order that resided inside the Cathedral of Light. It wasn't long before he was sent to Outland, to help in the struggle against the Burning Legion.

After the war in Outland was over through, he returned to Stormwind, and has been working in human lands since, thwarting criminals and helping to defend the land from any who would do it harm.

It wasn't long after returning from Outland actually, that Zohaar was sent to investigate a large vessel that had docked just off the coast of Westfall. It was presumed to be a pirate ship, and due to the order still awaiting many of their troops from beyond the Dark Portal, Zohaar was sent on his own to investigate the intimidating vessel. He was soon spotted by the crew though as he neared, and was summoned to a meeting with their captain, Baelek Mooncrest. The draenei was pleased to find he was a reasonable man, and didn't intent to start any criminal activity in the area. While in talks with him, the ship set off across the sea, and with no real way back to mainland, Zohaar decided he'd best tag along with the band of pirates to keep watch over them, and if he could, turn them to a better path in life.

It was on this month-long excursion with the Bouldershots, that he was cursed with his current, tremendous assets, and after finally returning to Stormwind, the Vindicator quickly found people acted very different around him. His superior, Jerek particularly, seemed to change from his usual upstanding self, to a much more lecherous man, something Zohaar had to get used to along with the mammoth mounds he carried on his chest.

Since then he's traveled with the Bouldershots a few more times, still trying to turn them to a brighter path, but knowing full well his efforts are in vain. It's likely he -really- travels with them because he actually likes being around them, not feeling quite as unusual.

If you haven't already, please do check out my last journal entry for recent news.

Anyhoo, next character biography, and here we discuss that beefy, busty, brute, Blake Lightswood. Well, he isn't a 'brute', but it sounded better ^^; Anyway!


Name: Blake Lightswood

Race: Human

Hair: Dirty-Blonde, Shortish, a bit scruffy

Skin Colour: Lightly-tanned


'Pirate Blake'

Age: 27

Class: Hunter (Though he doesn't use a pet, he don't really fight all that much as he's not overly-skilled in combat)

Personality: Slightly Shy, Submissive, Intelligent

History: Before joining the Bouldershots, Blake was a merchant, at first running a shop in the city of Stormwind, before eventually operating a small ship which traveled to the various ports of Azeroth, and setting up temporary stalls there.

It was when he visited the neutral goblin port-town of Booty Bay, that he bumped into Baelek. The night elf was forming a band of 'treasure hunters', and needed a navigator, someone who had experience sailing and knew the land and seas well. After a bit of persuasion, Blake eventually agreed, joining the crew.


'Kronthyr Blake'

Age: 31~

Class: Ranger

Personality: Kind, Shy, Submissive

History: Blake doesn't really know much about his past, awaking one day in a field not too far from the city of Sunsliver, with only fuzzy, groggy images in his mind. He knew a reasonable amount of the geography of the land of Kronthyr though, as well as most of the general knowledge an average man of his age would have.

He was rather distressed about his situation at first, but quickly realized that if he didn't know anything of his past, he should at least make the most of the present, pondering about taking on the life of an adventurer. He figured it would be a great way to make new memories, as well as potentially regaining old ones.

Luckily for him, Garv Stonewell, a hulking warrior from the north, soon arrived in the city, seeking able-bodied men to form an adventuring party with, and Blake saw it as a sign, joining up immediately.
